RE: [ipfix-arch] IPFIX and AAA and IPFIX for QoS Monitoring

["Siddiqui, Anwar A (Anwar)" <[e-mail]>]

Hello,
 
There are couple of issues with IPFIX and QOS Monitoring. 
 
1. There is RMON WG that is doing some work on QOS Monitoring. 
There are some standard tarck work in this space like SMON, RMON,
Application 
Performance Measurement (APM),  Transport Performance Measurement (TPM),

Synthetic Source Measurement (SSPM) etc. are a few solutions that
resdides in this space.
There is also a proposed darft for Realtime Application QOS Monitoring
(RAQMON) 
in RMON WG presented during last 2 IETF sessions. This draft has 
    --> a MIB definition for storage of data and 
    --> A protocol interface between the end devices to report QOS
parameters from an IP end device
to a report collector. 
 
It was raised in that WG during RAQMON presentation whether IPFIX can be
leveraged 
as a "light weight" protocol such that the IP end devices can use that
to report data
to report collector? 
 
Is this within the charter of IPFIX WG? When IPFIX was chartered, it was
focused towards
billing and reliable transport resquirements were heavy. However this
could be my misunderstanding too.
Can some one plese comment on that. 
 
Here is a copy of the RAQMON draft that we are working from. 
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-siddiqui-rmonmib-raqmon-mib
-00.txt
 
BTW there is also IPPM WG deciding on various methodologies of QOS
mesaurements.

Hello, 

I just read this QoS doc, which BTW is very nice, but I wonder whether
this is in-scope. I mean, how exactly you are going to perform QoS
monitoring depend in so many factors...applications, networks, etc. It
should be totally up to the implementation and indirectly who is doing
the monitoring.

Maybe a different draft suggesting recommendations on QoS measurement
process for IPfix. Any thoughts? 

regards, 

Reinaldo

:Hi K.C., 
: 
:attached you can find my contributions to the architecture document. 
: 
:- The first text contains some first thoughts on how IPFIX and 
:AAA could 
:communicate. 
: 
:- The second text contains considerations on how IPFIX can be used for 
:QoS monitoring. Maybe this can also go into the architecture document 
: (Ram Gopal for instance had a section on "some applications 
:for IPFIX" 
:in his text). Or do you think this should be put into a 
:separate document ?
